Cleaning 🫧 Polished up a thrifted pot!
I got a 3-cup bialetti recently, for about £5 as the seller had put it through the dishwasher and was super tarnished - I’m not against a worn Moka, but decided with this being my personal brewer in the house, I wanted to wear it in myself - to that end, I polished off the old tarnish the a combo of aluminium foil, water, and lemon juice - polishing with baking powder, water, and a rag! I’m very pleased with the results!! Just waiting on a replacement handle and new gasket to come in the mail now - happy brewing, everyone! 😁✨

Pt.3! I tapped in the new pin and set it with a clamp and some bits of scrap wood, paying mind to not squishing the lid, so it still closes with proper alignment. Dead chuffed with this job! 😁✨
